[Development] Qt 5.2 Testing (System tray)

[Keith Gardner]

It looks like they are trying to create their own QPA plugin for Qt5.  For
the appmenu changes, they reference the changes they made to the Qt4 source
code and are porting to a Qt5 QPA plugin.  I would assume that changes for
the system tray icon would also be included in the plugin.
